John,
I tried using TkAgg as the backend and it raised a value error Unrecognized backend error. The backends.html says The windows installer comes with TkAgg prebuilt so why do I get the error above? I selected PS as the backend and it took that ok. I did add both the GTK\bin and the GTK\lib to the sytem path. I will try the dependency walker when I can. I guess I am generating more questions...
Regards
Gary

You might want to grab "Dependency Walker" and load the gobject.dll
file that is failing. It will tell you what it is trying to link to
and why it is failing. Did you add the bin and lib subdirs of the GTK
install tree to your PATH? If there are spaces in the install path,
it can be tricky to get right on win32.
Also, please keep replies on list since it will be archived for future
reference.
